Now that Pnoy successfully removed Gutierrez and Corona, who he considered as major hindrances to his administration's governance and anti-corruption campaign, we the Filipino people, has high expectations that all his men in key gov't positions, show transparency in their SALN's and performance. Can we now expect decent jobs, food on our tables, honest politicians and a waiver for his hidden wealth for the Pres himself? we doubt!!!

GTalk by Cito Beltran "I find it sad if not extremely unkind that some senators had to twist the knife as they cast their votes. to twist a knife on an already defeated CJ as guilty as he may be, shows that some senators are unfit to sit in judgement.

FWD: The call 4 Pres Noy to open to the Filipino people the details are the acquisition & sale of his BMW & PORSCHE cars with the corresponding receipts & taxes paid for the transaction of utmost importance as the call of the hour. For the pres can't be transparent & honest in small things like these, how can we trust him to be transparent in all other things. Pls pass

FWD: But even PNoy said he will not sign not wavier and that he has no $ acct, unbelievable!

Daily Tribune Editorial
"Watching some of the judges labor thru explaining their vote to convict was perhaps similar to witnessing the pain of Pontius Pilate wash his hands after handing Jesus Christ to the mob. Again we go back 2,000 years past when the supposed public when the supposed public sentiment was for the cruification of a carpenter  who claimed to be the Son of God."

DZBB: (7:37-7:46) Commentaries by M. Enriquez - Tanggal na nga si Corona, Corona pa rin kayo ng Corona! Banggitin niyo naman ang mga nagugutom, ang mga walang trabaho! Banggitin niyo naman ang mga biktima ng krimen at ang mga corrupt sa gobyerno ninyo!

Fwd: An anonymous source connected with AMLC is withholding documents regarding PNoy's alleged
Dollar Accounts amounting to 11.32M USD; 500,000 Euro deposits scattered in different banks (Allied, BPI, Metrobank and Chinatrust)... Nakadeklara kay ito sa SALN ng Pangulo?

House Minority leader Danilo Suarez says CGMA is saddened and disappointed over the conviction of CJ Renato Corona. But Suarez, however, clarified that Arroyo has more pressing concerns, like her health.

Talk of the town media party sa MP till morning ah!

Atty. Oliver Lozano on DZXL:
RE: Desisyon ng Impeachment Court
-Noong Huwebes pa ay alam ko nang conviction ang hatol kay Chief Justice Corona kasi matunog na ang lagayan.
-Sino ba naman ang malinis sa lahat ng prosecutors at mga senador? Ang nangyari, para silang night and shinig armors.
-I expect that the SC will resolve our pending petitions.

ANC: Activists say with impeachment trial over, PNoy should no longer have any 'palusot' on rising unemployment, low wages.

Dzmm reporter:
> kinalampag ng grupo ng gabriela and mendiola upang igiit sa pangulong aquino na aksyunan ang mga kaso ng mga paglabag sa mga karapatang pangtao.
>ayon sa grupo nangyayari ang naturang mga paglabag kahit sa panunungkulan ni aquino at maigting na sinusubaybayan ng international community.
>nagpahayag din ng pangamba ang grupo ng karapatan na tuluyan nang kontolin ng pangulo ang korte suprema matapos i convict ng senado si cj corona.

Dzmm reporter:
> atty ferdinand topacio sinabi na manunumbalik ang diktadurya sa bansa ngayong nagtagumpay si pangulong aquino na patalsikin si cj corona.

Mike Enriquez and Joel Reyes Zobel on DZBB: Enriquez: " Kasama ka ba sa Malacanang kagabi? Mayroon daw mga sasakyan doon na nagsidatingan, mga may plakang8. Andoy (staff of DZBB), mukhang may hang-over ka pa ah. Nasa Malacanang ka ba kagabi? Reyes-Zobel: "Namamasko ang mga 'yon."

DZXL: Ngayong napatalsik na sa pwesto si Chief Justice Renato Corona ay naghahari-harian na umano si PNoy. Ayon kay Atty. Alan Paguia, dating abugado nidating pangulong Joseph Estrada, asahan na mawawala na rin ang check and balance kapag nakaupo na ang appointee ni PNoy.

DZMM Teleradyo: Nagdala umano ng matinding takot sa hudikatura ang naging hatol kay Chief Justice Renato Corona. Ayon kay Supreme Court (SC) Dep Court Administrator Antonio Eugenio, masyadong pinersonal ni Pang Benigno Noynoy Aquino III ang kaso laban kay Corona na nagmistulang martial law gamit ang buong pwersa ng pamahalaan. Hindi lamang anya si Corona ang naapektuhan o maaapektuhan ng pagpapatalsik sa punong mahistrado kundi ang buong hudikatura. Sinang-ayunan naman ito ng Integrated Bar of the Philippines (IBP) at iginiit na posibleng kabahan ang iba pang mahistrado ng korte suprema na sumuway o sumusuway sa pangulo.

What we have now is not government of laws but flaws in government. Lessons learned: if your an enemy of PNOY- get impeached in 3 hours and senate will accept it without pre-trial; expect prosecution to witch-hunt for witnesses in evidence; get ready to be mauled and demonized by yellow media; expect surfacing of 'anonymous' couriers of unverified docs, be ready to get rock-bottom ratings  from SWS in false asia; expect direct attacks from PNOY in all his speeches; expect BIR, LRA, COA, DOJ, AMLC and Ombudsman to go after anybody similar to your family name; family  feuds, mistresses will surface; expect longer time frame for prosecution and shorter for your defense; don't get sick when you testify- just vomit in the session hall; expect convict votes from Drilon, Pangilinan, Angara, Lacson, Osmena, and Trillanes even before start of trial and most important: you are GUILTY until proven innocent!

This a trial where everybody lost. Chief Justice Corona maybe guilty in the eyes of the senator-judges but it is THEIR GUILT that will stay forever. The effects of their judgement will be weighed by history. Biggest loser is the PUBLIC- the poor people lost, the unemployed lost, hungry people lost, luisita farmers lost. They lost the judiciary - their only hope for protection destroyed by the CO-MINGLED powers of the executive, the legislative and oligarchic media outlets/survey groups. They are poised to strike anew and continue to assert elite rule and mutilate democratic safeguards that will hamper their speed in navigating their deceitful tuwid na daan path to unopposed power. A disservice to the "people  power" victory as claimed by the mother of the OJT president.

TEDITORIAL: This was not impeachment as a political process, but a political assassination masquerading as a judicial procedure, ever mindful of judicial rules, above all respectful of due process that no citizen can be denied however high or low. That is why the senators wore the costumes of judges to look like trial but a long execution carried out by the legislature at executive  behest. What the senate did today will decide whether ours shall thenceforth be a government of laws and of separated powers or a government of whimsy and one-gang rule; whether ours shall be a government  of limited powers or of powers as far as a president's ambition will go. Judicial decision will change with time; political actions will harden with expedient repetion. And this is a government of expediency galore. It all came down to the question: can the chief justice be impeached for this interpretation of the law that his accusers completely agree with by not signing their own waivers? This is hypocrisy and a violation of the equal protection of the law.
